I think it's a bit outdated myself. Some measure could be taken to rectify the problem, like 35 years as a naturalized citizen like someone said. It's not like anybody can successfully run a presidential campaign, let alone get a majority of those who actually do vote to choose him/her. I think the real problem is that it would offend or upset so many people, not even just the usual conservative types, that most don't think it's even worth the effort.
